Survival rates based on tumor size only are very inaccurate. There are so many other factors to consider such as Grade, hormone status etc. Also most of the info you find on line is old and survival rates are improving as treatment techniques are improving. THE only way to get accurate info like this is to wait for your pathology results after surgery. My oncologist gave me percentages based on my pathology and the treatment that I was able to have. At the end of the day statistics do not really mean anything to an individual. I also believe that we can help ourselves through removing known risk factors, such as alcohol, being overweight, exposure to pesticides etc. It may be better to spend your time researching positive steps you can take to give yourself a better chance at preventing recurrence. It is hard to wait for results and a treatment plan but there are things you can do to help yourself prepare in more beneficial and positive ways. Take care of yourself in this way. Deanne xx
